Although I experimented with roses and using the ‘blood’ in a similar way to the thorns, I felt the concept worked better with the thorns. I was left, however, still wanting to use the roses so experimenting with submerging them in water. I wanted each photograph in the seres to submerge to rose more as …

Test Video – Rose
As part of my video I want to put together clips that link the photos within the book. For this video clips I focused on the drip of the ‘blood’. I experimented with reversing the video as well, and although I might not play it directly after the normal video, this is a concept I …
Test Images – Roses
As well as photographing the thorns with ‘blood’, I also experimented with doing the same effect on the roses. At the moment I have only experimented on the yellow rose, and although I like the concept I feel the yellow doesn’t work. It not only clashes with the red but also the green of the …
Creating the book
Above is photo sequencing for the next sections of photos within the book. The dandelion images were all shot this week, while the self-portraits were taken for the first hand in of this module. I wanted both the photos of the dandelion and the self portraits to show deterioration. Although I am currently using the …
Roses – Test Images
As a way to destroy them, I want to set fire to a rose for my next series of photographs. I took photos of the roses while they were still closed to see what colour I thought worked best against the background. I felt that the yellow worked the worse, with the yellows petals and …

The photo series also links to title ‘I am destroyed’, with the loss of seeds making the plant appear weaker. For the first image …
Dandelions
The idea of photographing dandelions was to focus on a part of nature that is considered fragile. I shot them in a numbers of ways from detail shots which focused on the main part of the plant, to very simplistic ‘portrait style’ images where the plant is surrounded by negative space in order to make …
Final Photo’s
Below are the ten final photos I have chosen for my project:
Mounting Photos
I decided to mount the photos onto foam board, which for me provided the physical support to make the photos look more sturdy and professional, whilst still being in budget. Each image was placed onto the board and then trimmed to remove the white boarders, which enhanced the images and made them pop.
Test Photos
After recently visiting the doctors and being told I am showing signs of depersonalisation disorder I decided to photograph how it feels suffer from this. ‘Depersonalization disorder (DPD), also known as depersonalization/derealization disorder (DPDR), is a mental disorder in which the person has persistent or recurrent feelings of depersonalization or derealization. Depersonalization is described as feeling disconnected or detached from one’s self.’ For me the …
